She explained she wanted to hear what it would sound like in the format most people would hear it in.

Then she better buy some cheap airpods that cut off 50% of the frequencies. And yes, one of the reason modern music has sounded so shit is that a lot of artists specifically limit themselves to the frequencies average in-ear headphones can reproduce, because thats how most people listen to music nowadays.

I like your criticism. I remember as kids we had endless discussions about the sound quality of Marantz or Revox devices. Nowadays I notice that kids are even satisfied with the sound of the speakers(!) of their smartphones, which sounds like peeing in a tin can...

I'm still confused as to the point of this scene, though. What was it telling us about her? Just that she thought differently to most other conductors?
